Edward James London - Balham

As always. A fantastic experience coming to see Jess at EJ. She is wonderful, always does my cut and colour exactly how I want it. She’s such a gorgeous Erwin too!! The young girl who washed my hair too was lovely, such a friendly girl!

Best hairdressers FULL STOP!!! I came out looking and feeling fabulous.

Great hair wash, cut and styling by Jamie.

I had my colour done, full balayage, with a cut and blow dry from the lovely Natalie. The results were beyond incredible and I could not be happier. One of the best colours I have ever had, the blend is out of a Pinterest photo. The whole salon is a dream, the products they use, the massages, the whole team make sure you are treated really well. I could not recommend Edward James or Natalie more!

Laura was very competent and gave me a super cut. Many thanks.

I have booked with Shannon a couple of times after having my colour done elsewhere. She has rectified it beautifully, listening to my concerns and preferences, and delivered exactly what I was hoping for. All the staff have been kind and professional, and I would hugely recommend the salon to anyone.

I’ve been seeing Natalie for about 10 years now and always leave with a fabulous cut. For various reasons I had to leave it for 15 weeks since my last cut and just the day before my appointment someone commented on my great hair style!! The sign of a good cut!

I had my full head of highlights done with Jamie and I’m really happy with the colour and cut. She really goes the extra mile and it shows. Love this salon. Go!

Really great experience again. Very relaxing and enjoyable experience - good combination of chit chat but also just calm which was nice. Jamie is great at remembering what you like and tailoring things to suit you. I often worry about getting my haircut in case it’s not right but not at Edward James. Thank you ☺️

Wonderful first time experience for a cut and blow-dry. Aaron took the time to understand what I wanted and advised what style would suit me best. Highly recommend to anyone in the Balham/Clapham area!

Jessica always gets it right! Thank you, beautiful cut on my curly hair:-)

Good cut

As always, Jessica was exceptional - she always listens and gives great on any changes I want to make - I’m very happy with the results

My hair just gets better and better from my time with Dalis. Honestly it’s the best condition it’s ever been in and it wouldn’t be that way if it wasn’t for her. Keep doing what you’re doing keeping this customer very happy indeed.

Excellent

I enjoyed the salon experience- everyone was friendly, professional and polite. However, I didn’t expect a blow dry to take so long my appointment was at 3.45 and I left the salon at 5.15. The blow dry initially was fantastic but sadly it dropped a fair bit by the time I got home- quite disappointing after such a long time spent- especially when usually my hair holds very well.

Dalis is a breath of fresh air! She’s smart, funny, highly skilled at what she does, and she’s also just really honest and customer-focused. She knows me (and my hair) so well now that I always come away thrilled with the result. The best.

Excellent as always!

Good overall experience. Stylist very nice and experienced

Highly recommend Aaron for cut and cooohr. He listens to what I want and gave thoughtful advice on colour that suited me perfectly. End result for colour, cut and style was exactly what I was hoping for. Couldn’t be happier, highly recommend!

Jessica was lovely and worked magic with my hair - I really enjoyed the experience and am very happy with the result!

Seriously the best hairdressers ever. Amazing cut/colour, great service and lovely surroundings. Can’t wait to go back!

Jess has been colouring my hair for nearly a year now. Best colourist I've ever had. I have quite fragile hair and my hair is in the best condition it has ever been. I trust her advice and judgement completely. She's also lovely :)

I had a blow dry with Gitanna and she did a great job. It turned out just as I wanted.

Shannon is simply THE best at blondes!

Best haircut I’ve had in a really long time! Would definitely recommend!

Shannon blow dried my hair yesterday and did an amazing job!!

Walked in embarrassed of how my hair looked, I felt frumpy and not myself. After a consultation with Shannon I knew she was the right person to help me find not only what I wanted but what suited me! I walked out feeling so confident, cared for and looked after. Super experience at Edward James Balham! Thank you.

Excellent as always

Was a great experience, I had a complimentary massage with some aromatherapy which was a great start! The massage chair while having my hair washed was also delightful and Deren was so chatty and really gave my hair moisture . My hair needed a "MOT" and Deren provided a great cut and very nice blow dry.

Another fabulous experience at Edward James.
Jess is the best!! Also, the massage before my haircut was wonderful! Thanks girls!!

Hayley knew instinctively why I needed and did a great haircut!!

Of course — here it is with **all the extra flourishes removed**, kept clean, simple and to the point:

I moved to London in June and Edward James in Balham was the first hair salon I visited. I was lucky to get an appointment with Deren and was blown away by my colour. It’s the first time in years that my blonde is the exact shade I love.

Deren has also helped improve the health of my hair, which feels much stronger and healthier overall. Very happy to have found this salon and would highly recommend.

Well done colour and blow dry

Had an amazing experience & loved my stylist. Gave me exactly what I wanted and was super fun to hang out with and chat to. I will be back.

Jessica was superb as always, she knows well how to get the colour I want and my hair feels light and no damage at all.
Only thing is that I would have liked that she is more on top of me updating on the progress, it took 4hours and I would have liked a little bit more of feedback during the process. The assistant felt a little bit slow and the whole experience felt too long with no much attention to the customer. But overall I liked the outcome.

Aaron did an excellent job with my haircut and blow dry! As soon as I shared my ideas, he offered great recommendations and clearly knew what he was doing while cutting my hair. I left feeling really satisfied with the service and immediately booked my next appointment!

Excellent cut and colour.
Friendly

I think Aaron is fantastic, he’s highlighted my hair perfectly! Couldn’t be happier.

I really love the colour high lights and cut
Deren is such a talented creative and a lovely person

Great cut - exactly what I wanted and Laura is always very chatty and friendly

Excellent experience! Put myself completely in Shannon’s hands and she delivered - I got so many compliments on my hair. Will definitely be back 😊

Dalis was great and very knowledgeable. She is helping to restore my neglected, post-partum hair gradually rather than going for a big chop and I’m very grateful!

As always, an amazing experience getting my hair highlighted with Jess
She is just wonderful

Very satisfied

Dalis is a genius! From the consultation, throughout the highlighting process to the moment the styling ended, Dalis was attentive, checking her work, and checking I was happy. The result? The most beautiful highlights that were just what I asked for. I’m over the moon with the results.
The rest of the staff in the salon were also delightful, welcoming and made me feel at ease. I have super curly hair and have found other salons didn’t know what to do or how to manage my hair so always nervous going into a mainstream salon. Edward James is different, they couldn’t have been more welcoming. I cannot recommend highly enough

Very pleased with my haircut and Aaron was excellent.

I’ve been going to Edward James for years. The whole experience is head and shoulders (hoho) above every other hairdresser I’ve ever been to. High-quality products, professional and friendly atmosphere, helpful and skilled staff.q
It’s led from the top by Ed himself: he is a respectful and collaborative employer who insists on the highest standards across the board from his staff, and consequently has a loyal, professional and motivated team. I always book last minute in a rush, and they go out of their way to accommodate me.
I usually go to the Balham branch, but I’ve been to his others in the past and I honestly couldn’t recommend any of them enough.

Growing my hair and in the awkward between stage, Ed took me from shapeless frumpy hair back to gorgeously coloured and styled chic

This salon is always a joy to visit. Jessica was brilliant, taking time to discuss what I wanted and I was very happy with the results. The head massage at the beginning and the massage chairs during the hair wash are wonderful, and add to the overall feeling of a great visit.
